NexusDB release plan for Rad Studio XE2 support

Tue, 09/13/2011 - 10:59 | Eivind

Now that Rad Studio XE2 has been released, we can start planning supporting NexusDB releases.

We intend to release NexusDB 3.10 within a month. This update will as usual have some bug fixes, and also will have XE2 support for win32 compiling. At the same time, the new Secure Pack products are going to be released (link: https://www.nexusdb.com/support/index.php?q=node/27041).

XE2 support for 64-bit windows compiling will come in the following 3.11 update. This update will require a fair amount of work on the assembler code we currently have in our product, among other things (like the Extended datatype not being available natively). This update does not have a specific timeframe, other than we will make it available as fast as we can.

XE2 support for MacOSX will require an even larger amount of work, and we will be looking into this after the 3.11 update.

The Memory Manager stand-alone product does not support any later versions than Delphi 2007. Yes, if you want to use our MM with a later Delphi version, you need to purchase the full NexusDB. Please post further questions in the support newsgroup.

The next Portal release will have XE2 support for 32 and 64 bit. We're currently fixing up the assembler based compression routines to work in 64 bit, hopefully it won't take much longer. A release within 3 to 4 weeks from now is more than likely.
